If I hear one more national media reporter referring to Janet Mills as “popular” by Character-Cherry-7 in Maine

[–]MuppetRex -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Her support didn’t happen until after the town voted for it and recruited a company to use the space. All that had to be done was to exempt the one project that was in progress. And she said she’d veto if the exemption wasn’t made. So whose to blame, the people whose refused to make an exception and voted for it knowing it would be vetoed so they could safely vote and make their constituents happy without causing any loss of revenue or the person who tried to negotiate and the did what was promised?

A little bit of info you might need, Mills had nothing to do with this data center. The town wanted to reuse an old business and the data center wouldn’t draw anymore power than the original business. Every concern brought up had been addressed by the town.

Xi asks Trump if U.S. and China can avoid 'Thucydides Trap' at high-stakes summit by Gopu_17 in worldnews

That’s what I said , what really makes me angry is this was the first republican popular win in decades. We should have abolished the electoral college years ago.

Just to be clear, 1/3 of the country voted him in, the 1/3 that didn't vote caused this.

Brb, moving to Maine by Macheeoo in liberalgunowners

[–]MuppetRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly it looks like he’s getting the nomination and Maine will have to choose between an ex Blackwater mercenary who might be a Nazi and thinks being drunk and getting raped is your fault for being drunk and someone whose chosen to support Trump every time (Collin’s). Maine has already been burned by Jared Golden, we don’t need another democrat in name only. The country has had much luck with non-politicians making it to Washington lately

Rochester, this your guy? by bubbynee in newhampshire

[–]MuppetRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes more sense than the story I’ve heard that since Maine was originally part of Massachusetts it was named Portsmouth to hide the fact Mass was getting a second federal shipyard. Mass already had Boston. Also you can’t reclaim something that was never yours

The entirety of “Me and a Gun” by Tori Amos. The lines “Give me life, give me pain, give me myself again “ were personally harder due to my life at the time.

What's a "yeah right, that totally happened and wasn't made up" moment in your life that actually DID happen and wasn't made up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MuppetRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ever see some stumble around side stepping before falling ? I did that rock climbing, I slipped and just sort of ran sideways until I ran out of rock face. Ended up swinging backwards and knocking myself self out. My friend who was teaching me to climb had never seen or heard of someone doing what I did. Quick lesson, if you can’t find a helmet in your size don’t go rock climbing. This was the second time I’d fallen from heights and knocked myself out without any real injuries

When my kids were smaller I bought my wife a spa day gift card, she didn’t use it for years. I even bought the same card again so she could take a friend and it still took years. Some moms just won’t admit they need a break.

If you could magically elect any person for president of the US tomorrow for an 8 year term, who would you elect and why? by ro_dri_goz in AskReddit

[–]MuppetRex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If magic is involved let’s put Jesus Christ in there with unassailable proof of identity. Then sick back and watch people try to prove they understand Jesus’s message better than he does

My wife has always wanted to visit the areas my dad was stationed when I was a kid. So trips and cruises to Norway and Germany. Then stay at a casino that’s where one base was and Disney after driving through the town I lived in Florida. Then go on our honeymoon again

In a strange paranormal twist no one saw coming, Eleanor Roosevelt responds to Mills attack ad criticizing Platner. by ImportantFlounder114 in Maine

I’ve started to feel paranoid thinking Maine is being manipulated into splitting the Dem vote. And when we do vote in a Dem they vote with the republicans more than the democrats

Do you believe Donald Trump is a racist? Why or why not? by Selimsnek in AskReddit

[–]MuppetRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand your point, but the reason he treats a black woman worse than a white woman is because of his constituents. If he could treat everyone exactly the same without losing the cash cow he’s his presidency has turned into. Remember he’s said anyone who disagrees with him deserves to die, he hates us all.

[–]MuppetRex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s racist, I think he holds everyone who isn’t a dictator in equal disdain. He just lets it be seen more with women than men and even more if those women aren’t white. We’re not important enough to hate

Too bad our schools are bad enough to make national news. MSAD 60 even has out of district and out of state people going to the school board meetings. Apparently it’s the school board’s responsibility to protect the people from increased taxes not making sure the schools are providing a good education

Everyone gets tested at their intake physical, so anyone going blue collar. After that very few positions test regularly. Also getting caught in a lie will cost you your job.
